Title: Improvements in Pencils and Process of Manufacturing the same.
Inventor: HENNIGER ADOLF
Filed: 1904-10-29
Granted: 1905-10-28
Abstract: 23,373. Henniger, A. Oct. 29. Wood substitutes.-Pencil sticks or mantles are formed of a mixture of starch and vegetable fibre compressed into shape. A binding-medium such as glue, a colouring-matter, and a substance such as beeswax, resin, fat, or oil for increasing the elasticity, may be added. Amylaceous vegetable matter such as potatoes or bulbs, waste products such as the residues of distilleries and starch factories, or mixtures of the natural vegetable matter with the vegetable waste or with fibrous material such as wood pulp, may be used. A potato mass, for example, is prepared by boiling a part of the potatoes and reducing to pulp, treating the remainder with diluted acid or with alkaline solution and reducing to pulp, and mixing with glue, wood pulp, and beeswax. The mass is, preferably, compressed in a hot state.

Granted: 1905-10-19
Abstract: 28,217. Fairweather, W. C., [Gas B³gelofen Ges.]. Dec. 23. Ironing.-Relates to means for the rigid attachment of a separate handle in a hand-iron, by mounting a cam or equivalent in the handle to engage with the body of the iron. The handle shown consists of two horizontal parts c, d, connected by a vertical piece e in which is mounted a spindle f rotatable by a thumb-screw and having a cam h mounted on its inner end. To secure the handle, the cam h is turned upwards, and the part d is thrust into a socket b on the top of the body of the iron. The cam is then turned downwards, and its helical or cam-shaped face h<1> makes firm contact with a similar face on a shoulder b<1> on the socket b, securing the handle against longitudinal looseness even when it is worn. In another form of apparatus, the shoulder b<1> is replaced by a transverse recess in the face of the socket b, of a breadth equal to the thickness of the cam h, in this case made with flat ends, and shallow enough to make firm contact with the cam-face when turned down.

Abstract: 12,076. Economic Safety Gas Co., and Fowler, C. C. May 23. Grant of Patent refused. Carburetting.-Relates to apparatus of the kind in which air is forced through a carburettor by a blower actuated by a hot-air engine. The petrol is fed from the tank j by a float-feed i into a well m which communicates by pipes l<1 >with a compartment g formed at the end of the carburettor casing by a sinuous partition h. The pipes l<1> open in front of the openings of three perforated pipes k, which extend from the compartment g to the main portion of the casing f. Air is forced by a blower, operated by a hot-air engine, through a pipe which passes in proximity to the burner of the engine, and the heated air passes into the part g of the carburettor through a pipe d and a U-shaped chamber e, e'. Some of the air passes into the pipes k, forcing with it the petrol supplied by the pipes l<1>, and causing it to issue from the perforations in the form of spray. The spray is mixed with that portion of the air which passes from the compartment g through nozzles l, and the carburetted air passes off through a pipe n and U- shaped chamber o into a gas-holder. The movements of the gas-holder are arranged to control the supply of air to the carburettor, and also the supply of carburetted air to the engine burner.

Title: Improvements in Electromagnetic Power Transmission.
Inventor: ZANI ARNALDO PAOLO
Filed: 1906-05-26
Granted: 1907-05-25
Abstract: 12,340. Zani, A. P. May 26. Distributing.-In a system of power transmission in which a dynamo is employed as a slipping clutch between the prime-mover and the load, and in which the current generated by reason of the slip of the dynamo is used to drive a motor which assists in sustaining the torque of the load, the speed of the power shaft is controlled by the variation of the field strength of the system when the fields are shunted through a set of resistances. The method of control is shown diagrammatically; the armature a is driven by the prime-mover and serves to drive electrically its field magnets b, which are mechanically connected to the armature d, which revolves with the power shaft. The field magnets c of the motor are fixed. The elements a, b, c, d are connected in series together, throngh brushes and slip-rings, the armature d being connected through a reversing arrangement e. The fields b, c are connected in shunt with the resistances r<1>, r<2>, r<3>, r<4> of the controller in the manner shown, a sliding contact serving to connect together the bars f, g, h with the contacts 1 ... 10. When the last contacts h, 10 are connected, the motor c, d is out of action and the dynamo serves as a magnetic clutch. In the other positions, various amounts of resistance from zero upwards are shunted across either the dynamo or the motor field, giving various speeds of the power shaft. According to the Provisional Specification, a separate exciting-coil may be wound upon the rotating field magnet. At starting, this is excited by a separate source of current, and an adjustable resistance is placed in series with the second armature and gradually cut out as the speed rises. In the Provisional Specification, Specification No. 11,462,.A.D. 1906, is referred to.

Title: Improvements in Means, or Apparatus, for Measuring Fluids.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
Filed: 1906-10-27
Granted: 1907-09-05
Abstract: 23,966. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. Oct. 27. Liquid meters.-The quantity of liquid passing through an opening is measured directly without any of it passing through the measuring-apparatus. A separate quantity of liquid, preferably water, is delivered through a nozzle, thisdelivery being regulated by the difference of pressure on the two sides of the opening. This water is then measured, and the quantity of fluid thus calculated. Fig. 1 shows one form of the apparatus. Two small tubes b, c lead from either side of the constriction a in the main A, and are connected to opposite ends of the semicircular tube d. This tube contains mercury d<2>, and carries across its diameter a straight tube e, which is kept full of water from a tap m, this water being discharged from either a nozzle f or an overflow g. The frame formed of the tubes d, e is pivoted at, or near, the centre l, and so arranged that, when no liquid is passing through the main A, the tube e is so tilted that all the water is discharged from the overflow g. As liquid flows through the main, the difference of pressure in the tubes b, c causes the tube d to tilt as shown and so to increase the head of watar above the nozzle f. The flow from the nozzle f is measured, and the flow through the main A calculated therefrom. A recording-instrument may be attached to the arm e, as shown at o, p, Fig. 1. The tubes b, c may be introduced into the main A in the manner shown in Specification No. 28,593, A.D. 1896, [Abridgment Class Registering &c.]. The form of meter shown in Specification No. 21,471, A.D. 1903, [Abridgment Class Registering &c.], is referred to.
